Abstract

A tailwind, a wind component in aviation, can pose risks during aircraft takeoff and landing by blowing from the aircraft's rear. At Kualanamu Airport on August 02, 2022, Air Navigation Indonesia (AirNav) reported an incident where an aircraft had to abort landing due to a tailwind on the runway. This study analyzes the atmospheric dynamics contributing to tailwind disruptions on that specific day. The analysis involved various steps, including assessing upper-level air humidity using reanalysis data processed with the GrADS application, evaluating air instability through the computation of TT, KI, and SI indexes using the RaOB application, and examining cloud formation using Himawari-9 EH satellite imagery. The analysis revealed the presence of Cumulonimbus clouds around Deli Serdang Regency on August 02, 2022, which led to tailwind effects at Kualanamu Airport. Cumulonimbus clouds are often associated with unstable atmospheric conditions and can generate severe weather events like thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and strong winds. Cumulonimbus clouds indicate the likelihood of convective activity and strong winds. The strong winds caused by these clouds probably disrupted the Tailwind on the runway at Kualanamu Airport.

Abstract

The manufacture of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) has been carried out with simple methods and equipment in the Semangat Village, Merdeka District, Karo Regency. LOF is made by utilizing waste produced by farmers at the time of post-harvest vegetables such as cabbage, cabbage, carrot leaves and other vegetables. These vegetables can be used because 90% is a liquid. The chopped cabbage waste is mixed with cow rumen and fermented for two weeks, the resulting leachate is fermented again by adding coconut water and LOF is produced which is ready to be used by farmers. With this LOF, farmers can be helped in reducing chemical fertilizers which are quite expensive, so that the costs needed by farmers are less and LOF can increase nutrients in the soil.

Abstract

This study explores the effects of incorporating palm oil fuel ash (POFA) and fly ash (FA) as partial cement substitutes on the mechanical properties and characteristics of high-quality mortar, specifically Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC). ECC mortar was fabricated by milling POFA waste and FA through a top-down method utilizing a ball mill. The resulting material was subjected to tests for slump flow, water absorption, compressive strength, and characterized through XRF, FTIR, SEM/EDX, and XRD analyses. FTIR analysis verified the existence of Si-O and Al-O groups within the composite made of POFA-FA ECC. XRF analysis of FA and POFA showed cementitious properties, with SiO2+Al2O3+Fe2O3 exceeding 50% and CaO surpassing 10%. SEM and XRD results indicated minimal cavity formation, suggesting a high compressive strength in the mortar. Particle size distribution analysis revealed prevalent particles in the 1.5×10−1 to 2.0×10−1 μm range. The compressive strength test after 28 days, incorporating 15% FA and 10% POFA, yielded the highest strength at 59.30 MPa. The water absorption values ranged from 1.25% to 2.67%, indicating that POFA-FA assists in the cement hydration process and also serves as a filler. As a result, the material’s density is very high, leading to fewer voids formed, thus reducing the trapped water, which significantly affects the mortar’s strength.

Abstract

Composite board has been made with corn husk fiber (CHF), water hyacinth fiber, and wood sawdust using epoxy resin as an adhesive. The composition of each fiberwas varied, and physical tests (density, porosity, water absorption, and thickness expansion) and mechanical tests (modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and compressive strength) were carried out, and microstructure was analyzed using SEM-EDX. The results of testing the physical and mechanicalproperties with optimum results were density of 1.03 g/cm3, porosity of 10.48%, water absorption capacity of 10.22%, thickness expansion of 2.91%, MOR 256.05kgf/cm2, MOE 228 kgf/cm2 and compressive strength of 3.19 MPa. The results showed that the physical (porosity, absorption, and thickness expansion) and mechanical (MOR and compressive strength) tests met the standards of SNI 03-2105-2006, while the MOE test did not meet the standards. For density testing, it complies with SNI 01-4449-2006 standards. The composite board can be used as a substitute for wood for furniture materials.

Abstract

This study explores the growing field of biolubricants as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based lubricants. This paper highlights the gap in the current literature regarding biolubricants from Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) using a mixed-methods approach of bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review (SLR). A bibliometric analysis was conducted using data from the Scopus database, covering 650 publications from 2000 to 2024. Furthermore, a systematic literature review provides a comprehensive analysis of the methods used for synthesizing biolubricants from WCO, particularly evaluating the types of catalysts and methods employed that influence the physicochemical properties. The findings show a significant increase in research activity from 2018 to 2022, with Malaysia and India leading in this area. Key research trends identified include catalysts, oxidation stability, and transesterification processes. Optimal conditions for biolubricant production from WCO were achieved using an Amberlyst catalyst at 81°C, yielding a 99% conversion rate. These results highlight the potential of WCO-derived biolubricants to support more sustainable industrial applications. This study is the first to combine bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review methods to provide a comprehensive overview of research on WCO-based biolubricant production. Through a systematic review of existing studies, this research provides a useful resource for industry professionals and renewable energy policymakers in their efforts.

Abstract

Conductive polymer composites were synthesized using a crosslinking method, enhancing conductivity through the incorporation of carbon additives. Non-conductive natural polymers, corn starch, and natural rubber were blended with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a crosslinking agent, enhancing polymer bonding. CMC also served as a compatibilizer, improving corn starch properties. Glycerol acted as a plasticizer, enhancing flexibility and processability. Addition of carbon nanotube (CNT), graphite, and carbon foam yielded low-density materials, with carbon foam providing optimal porosity. The crystalline properties mirrored the added conductive carbon, while the chemical structure remained unchanged. At 0.1 Hz, electrical conductivity varied: 1.192 x 10-7 S.cm-1 (no carbon), 6.123 x 10-4 S.cm-1 (CNT), 7.656 x 10-4 S.cm-1 (graphite), and 3.134 x 10-2 S.cm-1 (carbon foam). Graphite incorporation demonstrated an electrical conductivity of 7.838 x 10-4 S.cm-1. The introduced carbon additives facilitated a conductive pathway in corn starch-based polymer composites, elevating material conductivity.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of overcurrent on copper (Cu) insulated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cables, focusing on their thermal behavior and fire resistance. We utilized thermal imaging, macrostructural analysis, and Joule heating calculations to evaluate six cable samples subjected to various currents. Results showed that with increasing current, the temperature of the cables rose significantly. For example, the CC0 sample, with no current, had a temperature of 36 °C, while the CC110 sample, subjected to 110 A, reached 1,091 °C. Joule heating calculations indicated energy values ranging from 0 J for the CC0 sample to 7,260,000 J for the CC110 sample. Physical observations included minor deformations at 253 °C and complete insulation loss at 1,091 °C. These findings emphasize the critical need for managing overcurrent to prevent severe cable damage and enhance system safety. This research provides practical insights for optimizing cable design and improving thermal management, offering valuable contributions to electrical engineering practices.

Abstract

The growing need for sustainable and eco-friendly energy storage solutions has led to advancements in high-performance supercapacitors with extended cycle life. This research explores the fabrication of composite electrodes using activated carbon derived from elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) combined with manganese dioxide (MnO₂). The carbon material was produced through chemical activation with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and subsequent physical activation using carbon dioxide (CO₂). MnO₂ was incorporated into the activated carbon at various weight ratios (10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, and 0:10). Morphological and elemental analyses were performed using SEM-EDS, Meanwhile, the electrochemical performance was evaluated using galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Of all the samples evaluated, the composite containing a 3:7 ratio of carbon to MnO₂ exhibited the highest specific capacitance, reaching 198.51 F/g, highlighting the beneficial interaction between double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance. These findings suggest that elephant grass-derived carbon, when effectively combined with MnO₂, presents a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for next-generation supercapacitor electrodes.
